Verse 1 The stones don’t speak, they never did, they only hold the sound of footsteps lost, of waiting breaths that never reached the ground. The loch lies dark beneath the wall, no ripple dares to stay, As if the world has learned to pause and let the hours slip away. Verse 2 I stood where shadows lengthen slow between the dusk and dawn, The wind forgot to say my name, the day was almost gone. No past, no future held my hand, no voice told me what’s real, Just silence moving through my chest like something meant to heal. Chorus Here, time stands still and silence speaks. The world grows thin, the moment deep. No need to ask, no need to know, This place remembers what we let go. [Instrumental Interlude] (Fiddle and low whistle, wide and slow) Verse 3 The castle watches without eyes, the water waits below, They’ve seen the years forget themselves and quietly let go. What once was loud has settled down, what burned has turned to stone, And all that’s left is this slow breath that feels like coming home. Bridge (soft) Not every truth needs words or light, not every scar a name, Some things are mended standing still where time is not the same. Final Chorus Here, time stands still by loch and wall, Where echoes fade and moments fall. I leave with less, but somehow whole, For silence knows the way back home. Outro (Instrumental – fading strings, distant water)
